Anne et Bertrand is correct. If you're just using ext3, it won't be a big deal, since ext3 is just ext2 with a journaling bit turned on. BootX can still read the root partition since it will look just like ext2.
It is a problem, however, for the other journaling fs's (Reiser, XFS), BootX will have problems with those. I just upgraded my oldworld machine from ext2 to ext3 partitions pretty easily. Here's how: 1) Download/install the latest 2.4.18 kernel (the one on mdk 8.2b2 is good) 2) Download/install e2fsprogs and libext2fs2 RPM's from 8.2beta2 3) Run 'tune2fs -j /dev/<whatever>' for each ext2 partition you have. This creates the journaling file. 4) Edit /etc/fstab and change each 'ext2' to 'ext3' 4) Do a shutdown -F -r to reboot and force an fsck. You should now have a lovely journaled fs, which for all practical intents and purposes is just ext2 wearing heavy makeup. BootX will still recognize the old girl underneath :-) Peter -- Peter R.
